Real vernier calipers... you don't see those very often! My dial caliper was stolen; I've gone digital. I use them often.

I’m old school to, we had to buy a set for ourselves back when I first started my apprenticeship. Still in the same box and have NEVER been left closed ………

At least those never run out of batteries when you need them

Sorry mate...  no offense

No need to be sorry, I just wanted to point out, that I'm not that kind of idiot to leave such a prominent fingerprint, but idiot enough, to not flatten out the 3D print structure .

Seriously, on the finished model the cowling panels will be removed, to have a better look at the Brassin engine. I only wanted to have the panels painted and decaled correctly, that's why they 're on.

Cheers Rob

Carl, You're in Canada - what are you doing using English measurements? Nice stash, by the way. Bill - who at 193 cm would have a tough time in that basement...

Bill, I've used a mishmash of both Metric and Imperial since I first learned measurements. I think it's a Canadian thing. I buy liquids in ml and L, fruits, vegetables and meat in oz and lbs.

Oh and milk here comes in bags ,not bottles. 

AS for height, I'm 178cm and still have to duck in our basement so can only imagine your predicament.

 Multiple Anxiety Syndrome Alert ... the most accute syndrome of them all  !

The Hellcat is save for the moment and was not converted to real flying duties. After calming down a little yesterday, I partly scratched the residues of the HGW wet transfers away. Interestingly the parts which were still on the Hellcat adhered pretty strong. I carefully applied the eyes and mouth over these parts. This was made more difficult, because I had to cut the eye decals, to have the cowling panels removable. Luckily, I found some 3's in my decal stash, which meant I could depict the plane I intended. Today I had some only partly funny hours with the stencils. They were not so far from a E-4 Phantom by the time .  

Cheers Rob

Good save Rob. Glad a cool head prevailed. 

[BlrwestSiR]

Nice work on the Hellcat. Great to see you pulled it off

Nice recovery, it's very satisfying when you can pull one off like that.

Cheers

Muchas Gracias Amigos, there are some scratches here and there and some paint damages to repair, but it seems the Hellcat will be finished soon. The hardest part was, that a pure pleasure build was spoilt in an unexpected way. I still cannot believe, how god these HGW wet transfers adhere only a millimeter distanced from where I pulled the transfer loose while removing the carrier film with the utmost carefulness.

Rabbit out of the hat there Rob, congrats

This is what it looks like at the stage now

[harv]

Wow buddy, looking great ....harv

[BlrwestSiR]

Mean looking Centurion there Danny. I might have to get one. It would look good next to my Churchill AVRE. 

Carl

[Bomber_County]

That was a quick build, never dipped my toe into post war AFV’s……looking great….

[BlrwestSiR]

The paint bench space is getting closer. I got the framing for the new walls done today. 

The silver duct is going to be the exhaust venting for when I paint. Wiring is next and then the drywall.

Nice save, Rob!  I hate to see a good model go to waste.

[belugawhaleman]

On my bench you ask? Nothing for a while. I had to stop my PT -76 build due

to the fact that I'm involved in the process of moving. The next month will be hectic

to say the least. But I'll return to modeling once I've settled in. I have a bunch of

1/16 models in my stash including; Trumpeter's T34/76 '43, SU-100, T-72b. Takom 's

Panzer  1 b, Panzer  1a Breda conversion, A few  Ft 17s , A wiesel a1 tow ,and a type 94 

Japanese tankette  late. I want to build something big. So, in a months time maybe.

Thanks;

Paul
